This is the 7th time this month that you’ve returned to Auro inside your nest. He usually appears when you’re out hunting, usually leaving his own hunts or attempting to add to your nest and make it more comfortable and extravagant.

You’ve grown acquainted with Auro enough to just let him pass by every now and then as long as he doesn’t bother you too much. He saves time bringing his own hunts so you can focus on other things, sometimes even just wandering, relaxing or whatever else, perhaps hoping to impress with a flutter of his wings and a not so subtle puff out of his pale chest.

Auro has attempted to court you many times. He doesn’t know if you realise it or take it in a friendly way, but due to lack of response on your end he’s been pushing himself more into your life, or nest in this case since the last time he tried to convince you to come to his own you refused.

It wasn’t until you went out on another hunt after dropping by your nest to see Auro adding to it that you heard another flap of wings that wasn’t your own.

There were a few odd gusts of wind pushing you in different directions lightly. It wasn’t until you glanced up to see Auro circling you and slowly closing in. Large silver wings gliding down closer to you, making his presence more known with tricks and spins he performed surrounding you, almost trapping you in as he waited for you to do the same.

When you didn’t respond for whatever reason, whether disinterest or oblivion, he attempted to subtly lock his talons with your own, or at least urge you to lock your own with his.
